Participants expressed appreciation for the initiative, with many commending the organizers for bringing healthcare services closer to the people. A beneficiary, Mrs. Agnes Amodu, lauded the effort, saying, “This outreach is a blessing. I received medication for my child and got my blood pressure checked for the first time.”

The EMT Foundation, known for its philanthropic activities, reaffirmed its commitment to community development. A representative of the foundation stated that the initiative was borne out of a desire to improve the health and quality of life for Kogi residents.

The outreach which is already in its second day is expected to end tomorrow, with organizers encouraging more residents to take advantage of the free medical services.
